I've had extensive discussion about the overscan/underscan dilemma with AMD developers who work on the Catalyst drivers.
The basic idea is that AMD would rather underscan some people whose HDMI displays don't overscan, and create too small of a picture (blank spaces around the picture), rather than not underscan and cause people whose displays always ...

I just ran into this exact issue, and found the solution. I use CTRL+ALT+DOWN to duplicate a line of text in Eclipse, so when it flipped my screen I was somewhat perplexed :) My OS is Windows 7 64-bit and here is where the hotkeys can be edited or disabled.
Open Control Panel
Click on "Appearance and Personalization"
Click on "Display"
Click on "Change ...

It's a issue with the Photoshop and it happens on other programs too. (It's probably related to some Photoshops plugins) You should be able to use SHIFT+ESC to bypass it.
This issue is fixed in CS5.
You could also try one of these programs from here http://forums.adobe.com/message/1636461#1636461 if you are not happy with the SHIFT-method or upgrading to ...

The control center is an optional feature that is required only if you are unable to set up the desired options through the default "display settings" interface on Windows.
In the past, I have used the control center to configure the relative positioning of monitors, but the native support for managing monitor positions have improved (it is fully usable in ...

The fglrx drivers are currently in no state to be called anything but beta drivers. The support is abysmal. However, reinstall them using these methods.
But before you do, make sure you purge the current drivers using:
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx
This is the only course of action, everyone ...

As Shinrai said, it's probably the notebook's hardware shutting off the monitor (and detaching it) when the lid closes, regardless of what the OS is set to.
Check the notebook's BIOS settings and see if there's any options you can control about the monitor turning off on lid-close in there.
If not, then you're pretty much done-for if you need the ...

Please note that DVDs are low resolution, I am not sure the exact one, but here is what Wikipedia says the possibilities are:
From Wikipedia
At 25 frames per second (commonly used in regions with 50 Hz image scanning frequency):
720 × 576 pixels (same resolution as D-1)
704 × 576 pixels
352 × 576 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard)

This part tells you the version:
Catalyst™ Control Center Version 2009.1110.2225.40230
Catalyst is currently released on a monthly basis and the version number is year.month as integers.
The above number says this build was done on November 10 2009 so the version is 9.11.
Is this the driver you downloaded?

The article Brightness control after resume sleep/hibernate broken seems to show that this is a universal problem with Win7 across many laptop models.
Some suggestions from the article are :
In Power Settings the "Choose what the lid does" is set to do nothing, then close the lid and re-open every time this happens
Press Fn+F7 (select projector mode) then ...

Normally the reason you'd get the message is that you're installing nvidia-utils. Are you installing something that depends on nvidia-utils? That could cause it too.
I recommend installing libgl and xf86-video-ati first as a transition step. This should remove your conflicting nvidia drivers. After that's taken care of, install the catalyst package from the ...

Considering I am not sure what you mean by "PowerPlay Options", I can only give you my advice and experience. My experience is that they are both superflous, and can be disabled. If you want to do this so you can easily get them back if something goes wrong, do this:
Open a command box and type in
msconfig
and hit enter. Go to the startup tab, and ...

First make sure that everything is hooked up. Are both your cards powered? Is the Crossfire bridge installed? Are the cards seated properly (try re-seating them anyway).
If none of that looks to be the issue, then completely uninstall the ATI drivers from your system (reboot if necessary), and then install them again. Sometimes if you installed the drivers ...

I ran into the same issue when first setting up my own Acer H244HQ display over HDMI on my AMD Radeon HD 6970 cards.
The image over an HDMI connection can look as good as a DVI connection, with the right settings. I don't think AMD's CCC defaults to the optimum for monitors over HDMI though.
Keep the underscan/overscan settings as you had before, so the ...

If the mother board is recent enough you probably won't need the external connection cable. I think I remember that SLI/Xfire still require a ribbon connector to operate. Regarding temperature etc does the card run in the box? if yes, the software may be just unable to acquire data. try an update maybe.

Just hook the monitor up to master card. The frames rendered by the secondary card is moved to the master card internally. You used to have to hook up a cable from the secondary card to the master card for crossfire, but that was a long time ago, and ATI has long since overcome that technological limitation.
Unless you are running a program, usually a ...

Many bad video drivers have this problem. If fact many other device driver also have problems resuming from sleep etc.
One rough solution is to use Microsoft DEVCON to reboot the device driver
In Windows you can schedule a task to run after a resume event
Use devcon hwids * > ids.txt to get a file of all id's, find you vidoe cards id
Use devcon ...

The problem wasn't related to any other software in my case.
This is what helped me (Win 7 Professional x64, had no such problem with Win 7 Professional x86).
Run CS3 - esc did not work. Run CS3 in compatiblity mode with WinXP SP3 - that solved it, but no drag&drop into photoshop (due to different user rights maybe).
I turned off the compatibility ...

Intel chipset users should right-click on Intel Graphics tray icon and disable hotkeys.
Other way to do this (if Intel Graphics tray icon missing):

Does that happen for every program (e.g. Windows Explorer?)
What are your taskbar settings?
Using
[x] Lock taskbar
[ ] Auto-hide taskbar
I've never seen this on multiple systems (most running with Ultramon, too).
Out of the blue, I can imagine two reasons: Autohide in combination with something that prevents the task bar from hiding, or specific ...

The posted .config is missing pointers to the Cypress (Radeon HD 58xx Series) firmware. Download all three CYPRESS_* files into /lib/firmware/radeon/:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/
Then in your .config:
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD is not set
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/CYPRESS_me.bin ...

ATI Catalyst video card software may be the culprit. In this case, you should open Catalyst Control Center and disable „hotkeys” there.

Basically it raises (+%) or lowers (-%) amount of power that your card is allowed to consume before it starts to throttle.
I guess anything higher than default (0%) is not safe, but so is overclocking too. If your cooling system on card is good, I think you can get a slightly better results while OC-ing.
The good example of how Power Control works can be ...

The solution which works for me, at least:
After extending the 1920 x 1080 desktop, set the resolution to for example 1280 x 800
Wait for 30 seconds
The screen will now "revert" on its own, as per the issue, but it will now revert to the 1920 x 1080 resolution instead of No Signal/black screen
I have no idea why that happens, as there are no dialog ...

It's a long shot here but.. are the necessary drivers installed for the Sony Vaio lcd monitor? I suppose, if your monitor was fully enabled you should see some extra tabs like "Scaling Options" and maybe "HDTV support" and "LCD Overdrive".
To check for this, go to Start --> type "device manager" (or just "de ma") [enter] --> Monitors.

Possibly Catalyst files corrupted. Try to reinstall it.
What you (really) need to use the ATI Catalyst drivers is the service AMD External Events Utility started in automatic mode.
Catalyst® Control Center Launcher or CCC.exe is as far as I know useless and can be disabled (with Sysinternal's Autoruns for example). You don't have to run this utility at ...
